A Supportive Father

Ravi was kneeling next to the bed as he gently caressed the body of the girl sleeping in front of him. The girl lay there snuggling the pillow without any awareness of her surrounding.

Ravi rubbed her soft thighs, which were covered with goosebumps. The girl felt the warmth of his hand. But instead of waking up, she squeezed the pillow further close to herself.

Ravi’s gaze followed the curves of her body, and his eyes eventually reached her torso. The loose spaghetti top barely covered it she was wearing. His eyes lingered a little longer on her cleavage, where her dark areola was sneaking out.

She would have been in a very vulnerable position if the guy in front of her had not been her father. Ravi pulled his eyes away from her daughter’s breast. It was as if he had been hypnotised for a moment. He hesitated for a second and then pulled her top up to cover her breast.

Unlike other conservative fathers, he had never restricted his daughter from wearing any outfit. As his daughter grew older, her bold fashion choices led to some uncomfortable situations.

Nisha would often remove her bra on hot summer nights. Then walk around the house the next morning with her nipples poking through her top. Ravi didn’t want to have that awkward conversation with his daughter. So he made sure to look away from her during the mornings.

Even as a father, Ravi hadn’t failed to notice that he had raised a gorgeous daughter. Unlike other fathers, he felt proud whenever he caught other men ogling his daughter. He was fine as long as they kept their hands to themselves.

But he knew there were also a few lucky men out there who had the good fortune of getting intimate with her. Ravi brushed that thought aside. The image of his daughter sleeping with another guy was not something he wanted to think of. He brought his focus back to the task at hand.

He nudged Nisha’s shoulder once more, and this time she responded. She opened her eyes to see her father sitting next to her bedside. Ravi bent forward to kiss her forehead and informed her that she had a couple of hours left to get ready.

Ravi had always had a very open relationship with his daughter. They shared many things that Nisha never even shared with her mother. Ravi was the first person his daughter approached when she decided to try modelling in her college days.

Even though he had reservations about that profession, he didn’t stop her daughter. Even during the phase when Nisha wasn’t getting many work opportunities, Ravi was there to cheer her up. Knowing that his daughter had a great physique, he even encouraged her to approach lingerie brands for work.

And sure enough, that advice worked out for her as she received a photoshoot opportunity where she had to pose in a strapless bra. The photo shoot was successful, and Nisha began receiving work from multiple clients. Ravi was happy to step back and let his daughter make her own life decisions.

After a few years of modelling, Nisha started auditioning for acting roles. Though Ravi supported her, deep down, he knew that his daughter lacked the skill and experience to succeed as an actress. Her curvy body was great for magazines. But on-screen acting is not just about showing skin.

Thus, Ravi decided to keep these thoughts to himself to avoid discouraging his daughter. So when Nisha informed him that she got selected for a role a few months ago, he was both shocked and happy. Ravi couldn’t quite believe what was unfolding in front of him.

He tried to enquire more. But Nisha told him that the project was a web series. He trusted her judgment, so he didn’t press her any further. But he couldn’t get over the fact that anyone would hire an inexperienced girl for a full-time acting role.

A few weeks after the shoot started, Nisha looked more miserable each day. As a father, Ravi grew concerned. This was the first time his daughter was not confiding in him, and he realised something was wrong. Seeing that Nisha was hesitant, he decided to initiate the conversation.

At her father’s insistence, Nisha confided that the director was unhappy with her recent work. The shooting was stuck at a scene because she couldn’t get it right. Ravi asked what had gone wrong as she was doing alright so far. Nisha told him that this scene was a little different.

For this scene, she had to perform some nudity. Ravi now understood why his daughter had been selected for the role despite having no experience. It turned out they weren’t looking for an actress in the first place. They wanted a young and sexy girl whom they could parade around naked in front of the camera.

Somehow Ravi wasn’t surprised by this. He knew that it was the only way his daughter would get a start in acting. So they had to make the best of this situation. Ravi assured his daughter that nudity was wrong as long as it was done for artistic reasons.

He told Nisha that she shouldn’t think about people watching her naked. Instead, she should focus on staying in character. If she feels hesitant, she should ask herself, ‘What would her character do in that situation?’

Ravi told her that even between takes, she should stay in her character and feel confident with her body. He recounted how great actors practice method acting. They completely submerge themselves into their role and start behaving like their character.

If she wants to succeed as an actress, she should follow in their footsteps. Nisha was comforted by her father’s words and decided to try out his father’s advice of staying in her character during the filming. Ravi was also glad that his daughter was willing to share intimate details of her work with him.

The following day he eagerly waited for Nisha to come back from work. That day Nisha came back beaming and hugged her father. Ravi understood her daughter’s feelings without her saying a word. While hugging his daughter, he realised that someone else must have his arms wrapped around her naked body.

He brushed that thought aside and pulled away from Nisha. Nisha didn’t notice her father’s discomfort. she excitedly began recounting all the praises she received for her work that day. Ravi knew what the men were praising her for, but he kept quiet.

As long as his daughter was happy, he didn’t mind. But somehow, he couldn’t stop thinking about how his daughter’s day must have gone.  Was she made to undress in front of the whole crew? How many people were watching her naked? Did anyone touch her while she was nude?

How much of her naked body was captured by the camera? He knew the private parts would be blurred out from the final cut.  But somewhere out there, some guy will have the original copy of the scene. He would get to jerk off to his daughter for the rest of his life.

He couldn’t explain why, but for some reason, his mind kept coming up with such inappropriate questions. Maybe it was because he was Nisha’s father and naturally felt protective of his daughter. But every time he looked at his daughter, he felt like he could see through her clothes.

It wasn’t hard for him to imagine what she was hiding inside. Although Nisha didn’t know about it, her father had already seen her naked once. Ravi had always allowed Nisha to bring home her boyfriends. He knew that the college kids were sexually active, so there was no point in pretending.

It was better that his daughter met with her boyfriends in the house than in some shady hotel room. As a consequence of this arrangement, Ravi got to see his daughter in all her glory.

Ravi still remembered that day in vivid detail. He had woken up in the night to drink some water. As he reached downstairs, his eyes fell on his daughter, standing in front of the open fridge, quenching her thirst. The room was dark. It wasn’t until Ravi got close to her that he realised she wasn’t wearing anything.

Ravi panicked and hid behind a cupboard. But he couldn’t stop himself from peeking. Her body was glistening with sweat. It seemed that she had just walked out after having sex. As Ravi watched, his daughter bent down to put the bottle back inside.

For a moment, Ravi caught a glimpse of her supple breasts hanging down from her chest. After she was done, she walked back upstairs, swaying her ass with each step. Ravi had forgotten his thirst by now. He forgot that he was looking at his daughter.

He felt a pang of jealousy as he watched her go away from him into her lover’s arms. God knows what he had been doing to her sweaty body. And Ravi couldn’t blame him. He would have done unspeakable things to that ass if it didn’t belong to his daughter.

Now, months later, he felt left out again while his daughter was stripping for strangers. Eventually, his curiosity got better, and he realised there was only one to satisfy it. He asked Nisha if he could accompany her to the set someday.

While Nisha appreciated her father’s interest in her work, she was hesitant to bring him along. This was her first acting job. She wasn’t sure if the showrunners would allow her to bring her family members to the set. Plus, since the show involved nudity, only essential crew members were allowed.

Nisha tried to reason with her father. Ravi suggested that if she couldn’t take him as her father, why not introduce him as her agent? Nisha accepted his proposal. But she couldn’t understand why her father was suddenly so interested in her work.

Ravi knew a consequence of visiting the set would be witnessing his daughter wearing little to no clothes. Though he kept reminding himself that he was going there to ensure his daughter’s safety, that wasn’t the whole truth.
